Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
